Liquid Vitamins

Miyu Posts: 118 Joined: 2003/04/15	2003/05/05, 11:56 AM This morning I took a liquid vitamin for the first time and immediatedly threw-up. My body's reaction was pretty violent and fast... Has this happened to anyone else?

Vitamins should be taken with food. -------------- Bettia.... The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

As long as you are not taking them on an empty stomach. -------------- Bettia.... The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Maybe there is something in there that does not agree with you. But to be honest, you just might be better off taking your vitamins in tablet form. Who really knows how stable vitamins are in a liquid for such long periods of time, for all you know, you could be getting absolutley nothing from your liquid vitamin.

Felt a little queasy but didn't throw-up (YAY!). dahayz, other ingredients are:Choline (bitartrate) 5mg, Inositol 5mg, L-Tyrosine 100mg,Citrus Bioflavonoids 25mg, Grape Seed Extract 5mg, Gamma Oryzanol (rice bran) 25mg, CoEnzyme Q10 5mg, Silica 15mg, PABA 5mg, Plant derived, ioonic trace minerals complex 250mg..... I have no idea what most of this stuff is. I feel like I need a chemistry degree to buy my vitamins.
